Hi. I decided to make my first puzzle giveaway. Here's the link:

http://itstoohard.com/puzzle/Mauk9kqE

The game I'm giving away is Defense Grid with all DLCs. Giveaway ends in: Jul 18, 2012 10:00 pm (UTC +2)
Timer here

Now about the quiz: I didn't want to make it very easy, so all movies are Asian (to be more precise - Japanese, Hong-Kongese and Korean). But don't worry - these aren't some anonymous ones. They are rather well known, and probably it's not very hard to find every of them with Google or some other internet tools.
Also, please read a note in quiz about entering the answers.

If there won't be many solvers after a day or few, I will post some hints. Now, try without them :) . Also, I won't help you with any answers or hints in chat. Everybody gets the same treatment.

If you liked it, I will probably make more movie quizzes, but oriented on another continent, or on specific kind of movies.

Also, please don't post the answers or direct link to giveaway. Thanks and good luck :) !

EDIT1: Just added a timer. I have to say, that I'm positively surprised from amount of solvers in such a short time. But, for all those who still haven't made it, I gonna add hints in a few days. Good luck!

EDIT2: Around 15 hours has left since start, so it's time for some general hints for you:

  • Read again this post, especially paragraph after the timer

  • Three actors are on more than a one screenshot

  • By countries it looks like this: 4 movies from Hong-Kong, 5 from Japan, 1 from South Korea.

  • Reading about film festivals, especially European can be really helpful. Also take a look on same best of lists made by magazines, actors, directors, etc. (there is especially one well-known American director you should consider - but please don't share about who I'm thinking ;) ).

EDIT3: Answers for curious:

  1. Chuck Norris (movie: Way of the Dragon)

  2. Battle Royale

  3. Jackie Chan (movie: Police Story)

  4. Hard-Boiled

  5. Oldboy

  6. Takeshi Kitano/Beat Takeshi (both answers were correct - movie: Sonatine)

  7. Hayao Miyazaki (movie: Princess Mononoke)

  8. Chungking Express

  9. Four (movie: Ring)

  10. Ryuk (movie: Death Note)

Always a pleasure :P . It's nice to see that people can recognize few of my favourite movies. However, it looks that I won't need to give any hints if it will go like this :D .

It's one of these movies about which I was scared, that people may not recognize since most of movies here are action flicks :) . However, it's nice to see, that you finally made it out.
